On January 15, residents of Beijing and neighboring cities of the People’s Republic of China flooded local social networks with hundreds of thousands of pictures and messages about an unknown cloud-shaped flying object. According to eyewitnesses, it moved quickly and silently from west to east.
Eyewitnesses stated that the object looked like a ball of light.
Wang Zhuoxiao, an astronomer at Tsinghua University in Beijing, explained that this phenomenon may be related to the launch of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 launch vehicle at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on January 14. The rocket then launched another group of Starlink satellites into orbit.
The scientist assumed that the glowing object was excess fuel that the rocket ejected during flight. Another Chinese astronomer made a similar assumption. According to him, something similar was observed in the skies of China last September: It was later revealed that the UFO was a cloud consisting of fuel from a SpaceX rocket.
